converting 2d plan dwg to 2d isometric
Art Garcia
isometric 2d dwg with the
least amount of time. I can turn off the unnecessary layers and rotate
my view to show the
the isometric view I want. However, I cannot show my risers without
changing my coordinate system. Is there a way (within r14) to create a
2d drawing of the rotated view?

oblique, because of a skew in the vertical dimensions of an object. in an
iso the left, right, and top

need to maintain all of there dimensions, changing the view plane shortens
the dimension around it's rotation. making it appear like an iso, however
plotted out it's measurements will not be maintained.

extensions. Type UCS 3POINT to set the new view angle & type PLAN to twist
your view. Isometric will require completely new drafting.

Let me disagree. I don't understand how the procedure you have described can
turn a 2d plan into an isometric. Where is the Z axis, or a simulation of it,
in your method, so that the isometric can show the idea of volume? How is it
possible to find the true dimension of each segment in your isometric? That
is what an isometric is supposed to be. Iso means equal. Isometric =equal
measure; it means that all the true dimensions of the object, seen in an
orthographic view remain the same when seen in the isometric view. The length
of the object is drawn on one side, the width on the opposite side, and the
height in the middle, vertically. Without reduction nor distortion. Also, all
parallel lines in the orthographic view remain parallel in the isometric.
None of these principles are present in the method that you have described.

and oblique, see earlier post on axonometric for a rotated view drawing.

plan linework to an elevation. Using osnaps you can draw the risers in the Z
direction without having to switch your UCS. As an example, I've used this
technique to draw isometric views of non-standard curb ramps.
